I believe that life should be care-free beyond college graduation. This personal belief of mine is derived from the American sitcom known as ‘Friends.’ That’s right! The show that is about six friends living their nonchalant lives in Manhattan during the late 20th century.

These six friends are known as the princess Rachel Green, the quirky Phoebe Buffay, the high-maintenance Monica Geller, the womanizer Joey Tribbiani, the nerd Ross Geller, and the funny one Chandler Bing. I believe that this sitcom isn’t like any other American sitcom from the past or present, because today everybody, whether they grew up in the 90s or not, is still buzzing about it as it is still relatable to our lives today.

Not much has changed since the series ended in 2004 because all six of these friends are still trying to figure out their lives when they’re all in their mid-twenties, which is around the time after we graduate college. I believe that there are still plenty of people out there today who are in their mid-twenties and they still don’t know what they’re going to do with the rest of their lives like the cast of ‘Friends’ .

I believe that the message the TV show ‘Friends’ sends is that it’s okay to not know you are doing with the rest of your life beyond college as long as you have your friends. Overall, it is okay to still be looking for love, looking for a job, exploring your sexuality, looking for a new place to live, or to be figuring out where the rest of your life is headed.

It is okay to still be a confused college freshman after you graduate because life's too short to be worrying about all of the long-term things all at once. I believe that as long as you have a group of close friends who are going through the same struggles as you then you are all set. Throughout the entire series of ‘Friends’, the whole squad of Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Joey, Ross, and Chandler go through a major emotional roller coaster. Whether it involves everyone winning the lottery together. Ross and Rachel were on a break after their consistent on-and-off relationship.

Or Phoebe deciding to carry triplets for her brother Frank Jr. and his way too old of a wife Alice because they couldn’t have their own children. But despite this getting the best of everyone, in the end, all of them somehow magically come together in order to help each other realize that they will all always be friends. All of them love each other; whether in a romantic way, a bromance type way, or as a best friend. Some morals and beliefs about how life should be should never change, no matter how long ago they were. I believe that no one told you life was going to be this way.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
